• A man preacheth that sermon only well unto others which preacheth itself in his own soul. And he that doth not feed on and thrive in the digestion of the food which he provides for others will scarce make it savoury unto them; yea, he knows not but the food he hath provided may be poison, unless he have really tasted of it himself. If the word do not dwell with power in us, it will not pass with power from us.

• Las fases liberal y conservadora de un hombre parecen sucederse en una sucesión de olas desde el momento en que nace. Los niños son radicales. Los jóvenes son conservadores, con una pizca de negligencia criminal. Los hombres en la flor de la vida son liberales (siempre que su digestión siga el ritmo de su intelecto). Los de mediana edad corren a refugiarse: aseguran su vida, redactan un testamento, acumulan recuerdos y mesas ocasionales, y esperan seguridad. Y luego llega la vejez, que repite la infancia: una época llena de humores y tristezas, pero a menudo llena de coraje e incluso de profecías.

  E. B. White

  Running, Children, Sadness

• La salud es ciertamente más valiosa que el dinero; porque es por la salud que se obtiene el dinero; pero miles y millones son de poca utilidad para aliviar las prolongadas torturas de la gota, para reparar los órganos rotos del sentido, o para resucitar los poderes de la digestión. La pobreza es, ciertamente, un mal del que huimos naturalmente, pero no corramos de un enemigo a otro, ni nos refugiemos en los brazos de la enfermedad.

• Facts are to the mind what food is to the body. On the due digestion of the former depend the strength and wisdom of the one, just as vigor and health depend on the other. The wisest in council, the ablest in debate, and the most agreeable companion in the commerce of human life, is that man who has assimilated to his understanding the greatest number of facts.

  Edmund Burke

• Uno quiere en un Primer Ministro muchas cosas, pero no grandes cosas. Debe ser inteligente, pero no es necesario que sea un genio; debe ser concienzudo, pero de ninguna manera estrecho de miras; debe ser prudente, pero nunca tímido, audaz, pero nunca aventurero; debe tener una buena digestión, modales amables y, sobre todo, una piel gruesa.

• Any guilt about food, shame about the body, or judgment about health are considered stressors by the brain and are immediately transduced into their electrochemical equivalents in the body. You could eat the healthiest meal on the planet, but if you’re thinking toxic thoughts the digestion of your food goes down and your fat storage metabolism can go up. Likewise, you could be eating a nutritionally challenged meal, but if your head and heart are in the right place, the nutritive power of your food will be increased.

  Marc David

• At present, man applies to nature but half his force. He works on the world with his understanding alone. He lives in it, and masters it by a penny-wisdom; and he that works most in it, is but a half-man, and whilst his arms are strong and his digestion good, his mind is imbruted, and he is a selfish savage.
